National Briefing | South: Georgia: Arrests In Farmworker Attack

Published: October 5, 2005

Two men were arrested in connection with a string of attacks in south Georgia on immigrant farmworkers. The crime spree last week left six workers dead, either shot or bludgeoned with baseball bats. Four other workers were injured and a woman raped. Stacy Bernard Sims, 19, and Jamie Underwood, 22, are accused of shooting and beating a Hispanic man at a Norman Park trailer park and then raping his wife. More charges are likely, the authorities said.
